Where a normal day leaks money.

It's never the work. It's everything around it.

TimeWhat happens nowWith Columen

Someone searches "plumber near me". You're not there.

You show up on Google, Maps and ChatGPT.

You miss a call under a sink. They ring someone else.

They get a text back in a minute.

Friday's quote. No answer, no time to chase.

Chased for you until it's a yes or no.

Happy customer. Nobody asks for a review.

Review link sent that evening.

A pile of invoices on the kitchen table.

Already sent, with a pay-by-card link.

Last year's customers have lost your number.

A reminder goes out, from you.

Once a month you get one page: where your calls came from, how many were caught, and what they were worth.

Emad Khan, founder of Columen

The time he didn't spend with us.

When I was a kid, my dad got home between half eight and nine. My bedtime was ten. So when I heard the door, I'd sprint to it, say hello, and run back to the TV or my dinner.

He never missed a big day. Not one. But most nights, that was it.

He's run a pest control business in London since 2007. Ten hours a day driving round the city, then home, exhausted, to a pile of invoices.

"I used to come home exhausted, and not send out my invoices because I was too tired."

My dad

Then he got ill. Afterwards, he told us that if he could change one thing, it would be the time he didn't spend with us.

Most of what kept him out wasn't the work. It was everything around it: calls to ring back, quotes to chase, invoices to send at night. None of that needs him.

I'd been building systems for coaches and startups. I rebuilt his business first. Columen is that, for every trade still doing their paperwork at night.

The old Pest Control Solution website on a phone: a tiny desktop page from 2008 you have to pinch to read
Before: built in 2008
The new Pest Control Solution website on a phone: big headline, trusted-by logos, accreditations and a tap-to-call bar
After: built to get calls

Pest Control Solution, London.

My dad's business, and our first trades client.

Before
A 2008 website with no mobile layout and broken security, and the Google listing pointing at the wrong website.
What we did
Rebuilt the site to drive phone calls, put it on Search Console, verified its accreditations and set up call tracking. Getting the Google listing back under his control is in progress.
Results
Landing over the next few weeks. We'll post the numbers when they're real.

The first two plans go live within two weeks. Runs itself is open to a few founding clients while we build it with them.

How it starts.

You keep working the whole time.

  1. A free Google check. We look at how you show up on Google and in AI search, and send you a plain-English report within a couple of days.
  2. A 20-minute call. What's costing you jobs, and what we'd fix first.
  3. We set it up. It takes about an hour of your time, on the phone.
  4. A report every month. What came in, where from, and what it was worth.

What trades ask us.

Anything else, call or WhatsApp 07368 819628.

Why not just use Jobber or Tradify?

They're good apps, but you have to set them up and run them yourself, and they don't bring you work. We bring the work in, set everything up, and keep it running.

I'm not techy. Will I have to learn a new system?

No. Most of it runs in the background. You get texts and a simple report. If you want the full system, we build it around how you already work.

Do you guarantee leads?

No, and be wary of anyone who does. We guarantee every lead gets answered and every job gets invoiced. Then the report shows you exactly what came in.

Do I get tied into a contract?

No. It's monthly, with 30 days' notice.

Who owns my data and my Google listing?

You do, always. If you leave, you take everything with you.

Where do you work?

We're based in London and work with trades across London and the South East.

Get home on time.

Start with a free check of how you show up on Google. You'll have it within a couple of days, and it costs nothing.
